The Amount of Happy

Hello! Also wanted to pop in today and play along with Unity Friends with Flair. I fell in LOVE with this image as soon as I saw the July Kit of the Month - and since it was waiting for me in our pile of mail when we arrived home, I couldn't wait to ink it up. Of course, it was the perfect image for a little watercoloring!


I also used the color inspiration for the current Unity {be inspired} Challenge:


Also linking this up with the Simon Says Monday Challenge - About a Face (one of the things I love about this image is that the face is a blank canvas...you can use your imagination to add whoever's face fits there!):



Added a strip of MME pattern paper, some Stardust Stickles on the dress, shoes, and hat ribbon, rounded a corner, and mounted on a kraft card base - super simple, but this image is so lovely it doesn't need anything else!


Thanks for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!!!

  1. This card is so very pretty! Not to mention clever! I, too, love this image but I also love how you put this together. The watercoloring is gorgeous and the color palette is really striking. I also like the bit of bling you added to her with the Stickles. The sentiment is so sweet and I love the strip of MME paper you added down the side. I also appreciated the detail you included about how you made it and what you used to make it with. You've definitely done this image proud and it was so fun to see how you interpreted this week's face challenge. Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog!
